Barney O'Hare was arrested some
time ago and put under bonds to keep
the peace. After remaining in Jail
about two weeks he succeeded in getting
bondsmen. Monday afternoon, hearing
that his wife was about to apply for a
divorce, he went to Salem and threaten
ed to shoot her. The Sheriff was tele-
graphed for, and he went after Barney,
whom he arrested, and was conveying
him to Kenosha in buggy. While on |
the road Barney swallowed the contents
Of bottle, which proved to be poison,
and was soon stretched out stiff in the |
buggy. The Sheriff was obliged to re-
turn with him to Silver Lake and send |
to Wilmot for doctor, who pumped |
the poison out of him. He was brought |
to Jail here, and one of his bondsmen |
withdrew. He is now confined in Jail |
until he secures another bondsman.

means of the N. Y. Tribune Fresh Air
Fund has excited to noble rivalry the
Chicago Daily Ne,cs. With true Chi

raised in fortnight's time, and hun

now comes the fact that nothing so ideal |
rs the Fresh Air Fund philanthropy
contemplates can be secured through I
money alone. Money, of which there
Is already plenty assured, can pay the
oeneficiaries and the salaries of agents,
but 1t cannot open the doors of country
homes. Kindly fellow-feeling for the
close, over-worked mothers and little
ones who have no means of escape from
one years end to another from the
sitting heat and filth of the crowded
districts of our city can alone

If this kind in the country, and we
therefore appeal to the rural commune

Years, jumped from a train near Rus
ell station on Tuesday afternoon of
asst week, and sustained injuries which
caused his death in about six hours.
His mother was formerly matron of the
Door house in this city, and now resides
n Chicago. From what can be learned
t appears that his mother sent him to
7isit his sister at Russell, where she
old the conductor to let him off the
rain, but the conductor told her the
rain did not stop at Russell, and he
would let him off at Wadsworth. After
getting off at Wadsworth, he got on
sgain and rode to Russell, where he
umped just as the train reached the
highway crossing. The agent and his
assistant saw him and went at once to
he spot. They found him bleeding
very badly, and carried him under a
rec, where they did all they could for
lim, and sent at once for DIR. 0. V.
Young. Upon examination it was found
he skull was broken in one place, and
he had several bad gashes in the head.
Following instructions from the railway
company, they turned him over to the
county, and Supervisor w. B. Levin
md DR.. o. V. Young took him to the
county house at Libertyville, where he
died shortly after his arrival. His re-
mains were brought here on Saturday
or interment.
